Taguchi’s Approach to Robust Parameter Design: A New Perspective
نویسنده
چکیده
Adjustment factors play a crucial role in Taguchi’s approach to robust parameter design. However, the notion of adjustment factors is not well defined and ambiguities exist in the selection of those factors. In this article, we propose a criterion for selecting adjustment factors. This new criterion can be used to explain and extend Taguchi’s approach. The concept is illustrated using two examples.

Robust H2 switching gain-scheduled controller design for switched uncertain LPV systems
In this article, a new approach is proposed to design robust switching gain-scheduled dynamic output feedback control for switched uncertain continuous-time linear parameter varying (LPV) systems. The proposed robust switching gain-scheduled controllers are robustly designed so that the stability and H2-gain performance of the switched closed-loop uncertain LPV system can be guaranteed even und...
متن کاملRobust Parameter Design by Neural networks and Genetic Algorithms
Taguchi’s robust parameter design has been widely applied to a variety of quality engineering problems; however, it is unable to deal with dynamic multiresponse owing to the increasing complexity of the product or design process. This study incorporates desirability functions into a hybrid neural network/genetic algorithm approach to optimize the parameter design of dynamic multiresponses with ...

1 32.3 Taguchi’s Robust Design Method Since 1960, Taguchi methods have been used for improving the quality of Japanese products with great success. During the 1980’s, many companies finally realized that the old methods for ensuring quality were not competitive with the Japanese methods. The old methods for quality assurance relied heavily upon inspecting products as they rolled off the product...
متن کاملEfficient and Robust Parameter Tuning for Heuristic Algorithms
The main advantage of heuristic or metaheuristic algorithms compared to exact optimization methods is their ability in handling large-scale instances within a reasonable time, albeit at the expense of losing a guarantee for achieving the optimal solution. Therefore, metaheuristic techniques are appropriate choices for solving NP-hard problems to near optimality. Since the parameters of heuristi...
متن کاملA hybrid solution approach for a multi-objective closed-loop logistics network under uncertainty
The design of closed-loop logistics (forward and reverse logistics) has attracted growing attention with the stringent pressures of customer expectations, environmental concerns and economic factors. This paper considers a multi-product, multi-period and multi-objective closed-loop logistics network model with regard to facility expansion as a facility location–allocation problem, which more cl...
